Anupam Kher spoke openly on life, hard work and the power of memories in his One Man Army session at IFFI Goa 2025. He told how one of his favorite films did not do well the first time, but he did not give up and the film ran in theaters for 9 weeks—and this was his message: “Giving Up Is Not a Choice.” During the session he said that real success is achieved only by those who work hard continuously and do not stop. Anupam Kher also shared that he doesn’t want to be pretentious—he connects with people because his stories are based on everyday life. He told in a funny style that for this talk he also tried to make notes through ChatGPT, but it seemed artificial to him, so he spoke on the stage only what came from his heart. Audience involvement, casual conversation and humor made this session special. Anupam also recalled an incident from his childhood—when Vinod Khanna shook hands with him in 1972. He said that “it is important to give memories to people,” because that is the real wealth of life. This straightforward, heartfelt and relatable session conducted on a One-Man-Stage was a hit with the viewers—no show off, no heavy knowledge—just experience and human connection.
